just a beep

beep is not genrated by python (was Re: just a beep)

hi there

neither print chr(7) nor print "\a" works, when you execute the script
directly under windows. (and executing under emacs doesn't work either.)

it seems that the beep is not generated by python itself but by the
terminal emulation.

so again: is there a more robust and terminal independent way to
generate a beep?

cheers, leo

on windows, use winsound.Beep:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import winsound
>>> help(winsound.B eep)[/color][/color][/color]
Help on built-in function Beep:

Beep(...)
Beep(frequency, duration) - a wrapper around the Windows Beep API

The frequency argument specifies frequency, in hertz, of the sound.
This parameter must be in the range 37 through 32,767.
The duration argument specifies the number of milliseconds.
On WinNT and 2000, the platform Beep API is used directly. Else funky
code doing direct port manipulation is used; it's unknown whether that
will work on all systems.

you might find it easier to use Python if you spend some time reading
up on functions vs. methods; in the meantime, here's one way to call
the "bell" method in Tkinter:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import Tkinter
>>> Tkinter.Tk().be ll()[/color][/color][/color]

If You attempt to use your script only under windows you should try this:
import Winsound
Winsound.Beep(f requency, duration)

Of course it did not! Have you ever used mainloop() or after(..) ?
